They became engaged a few weeks ago, but decided to tell the world this morning.

"Asked my missus to be my wife and she said yes," wrote Stefanovic on social media.

Over on Ms Jeffrey's Instagram, she wrote: A couple of weeks ago Pete popped the question, and I said yes, OF COURSE!!!" Jeffreys wrote. "We've had the most wonderful time celebrating with great mates. We couldn't be happier."

The pair became an item in mid-2014. It was later revealed that their love grew as Stefanovic, who was on overseas assignments at the time, kept in touch by letter.
